Overview

This book reveals what many family law attorneys would rather you didn’t know: that you can end your custody battle without giving in, giving up or going broke. It contains insider tips that will show you how you can save thousands of dollars, improve your relationship with your kids, sleep better at night, and put the family law courts behind you.

Drawing upon years of experience as a mediator, shared-custody educator, and therapist specializing in separation and divorce, Mr. Desjardins introduces parents, step parents, and grandparents, to the tools that millions of people around the globe are using to resolve their child-custody problems.

If you are recently separated or divorced and want to avoid getting into a custody dispute in the first place, this book will help you do just that. If you are already in a custody battle and have tried everything you can think of to help the kids “win”, but have failed, this book is for you.

All of the proceeds from this book are being donated to the non-profit International Center for Peaceful Shared Custody in support of its goal of building a global community of parents helping parents through separation and divorce.

“With an easy-to-read writing style, Mr. Desjardins makes a convincing case for “winning” a decent parenting arrangement after a divorce. I’m a family law attorney who agrees completely with his strategy.”
